Billy B Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Question. If Illinois wins the Big Ten (ha! ha! ha!), do you send the Illini to Dayton?They should. But they won't. Heck, they'll probably get the the 5 seed, as back when Syracuse won the Big East (after being on the wrong side of the bubble) that's what they got.Well, 8 seed maybe, Big Ten isn't the best Conference.Yes, but Syracuse was a more legit bubble team. Illinois will still be under .500.If Illinois is able to win the conference tournament, I think they would be a 14 or 15 seed. They did beat Arizona State and now Purdue. But this has been a really disappointing year. They blew games against Indiana (2), Purdue, and Arizona. Add that to losing to some bad teams like Tennessee State, Maryland, and Miami (OH) and you have a frustrating year. I had optimism so far as they should have beat Penn State and Purdue in the regular season and actually played to their potential in the tourney. Now they play a Minnesota team that they beat earlier. But if you want to keep looking ahead they lost pretty badly to the two teams in the other semi, so that isn't looking good. I'm already looking too far ahead anyways, but crazier things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Did anyone just see the Minnesota-Indiana game? What an ending.I did. That puts me in exclusive company...I live in Big Ten Country and have the Big Ten Network. Too bad so few people got to see such a great game.

HedleyLamarr Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The Georgia-Kentucky game has been tenatively scheduled for noon EDT at the Big Tit, which to you non-Atlantans is Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Colisium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I wonder how Georgia fans are taking it that they now have to play at the home court of their arch rivals.In other non-weather related news, congrats to American on their 1st ever NCAA tourny bid by defeating Colgate at home on Friday.

Drew22 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I wonder how Georgia fans are taking it that they now have to play at the home court of their arch rivals.It won't matter. They aren't allowing any fans to come to the games since its so small. Players and coaches families, cheerleaders, bands, and media are the only ones they are letting in.

ShinyHubCaps Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Ummm Pitt sealed their NCAA bid with a win in the first round, they are playing for seeding and could be anywhere from a 4(if they win tomorrow) or an 8(the NCAA loves to screw Pitt when it comes to seeding).But they were still a bubble team going into the tournament. That was my point; I just didn't know, prior to defeating Marquette, if they had "clinched" or not, seeing as there is no definitive "clinch" unless you win the conference. As I recall, the Big East had the highest RPI average other than the ACC, and they were talking about 7 or even 8 teams but only got 6 bids. I think the NCAA will cap the major conferences at some point, and I wasn't sure if Pitt got in yet; Syracuse had a good record last year and didn't get in.

Billy B Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Cancel the previous Big Ten Network bashing, the semis are on CBS.Georgia beat Kentucky in overtime, now they get a few hours to rest up for the other Bulldogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I was loving every second of it. I was kinda sad that Swansey from UGA hit a freak 3 to win the game, instead of hitting a 2 that would've sent it to double OT. But I'm definitely not complaining.

Drew22 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thank you Tyler Hansbrough! What a board and then shot.I'm still trying to get over the fact the UGA has won two games in the SEC tournament. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Same here. I don't know if that's the most shocking part or the fact that they beat two teams that were on the bubble in Ole Miss and Kentucky (I don't buy UK getting in. I'm sorry, but that 12-4 conference mark is just a cover-up for those horrendous losses to Gardner-Webb and San Diego).Also, congrats to UMBC for reaching their first ever NCAA tourny. That makes it three newcomers now (UMBC, American and Portland State) Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky fans are gonna be more pissed about not getting to see their team even play. Of all the SEC fans in town, Kentucky fans are the most numerous and spend the most money here. I feel really bad for them.As for the Georgia fans, this tournament could be played in Athens and they still wouldn't fill half the place....

BB61 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Meanwhile, the Big 5 will be represented in the tourney once again, as the winner of the A-10 battle between St. Joe's and Temple will get Philly's only nod.By the way... WTF is up with hosting this tournament in Atlantic City? It was in Philadelphia forever, then Dayton, then AC, then Dayton again, now AC. Why not keep it in Philly? Besides, three A-10 teams are based here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
